Lockdown Songs
Forget Me Not
How could you forget, the day that we met,
Holding hands in my pocket on a winter’s day.
How could you not miss, the moment we kissed,
And the tingling chill?
And how could you not, remember the spot,
Where I knelt before you with my heart on my sleeve.
How could you say, you don’t remember the day,
When the earth stood still.

Chorus
Forget me not, forget me not
Forget me not, forget me not
Forget me not
*
Do you not recall, the thrill of it all,
When nothing else mattered but each other’s joy.
You cannot refrain, from thinking again,
Of those wild days
Trawl through your mind, to remember the time,
When we treated each other like a treasured toy
Didn’t you ought, to cherish the thought,
We weren’t a passing phase.
*
Chorus
*
Don’t you recollect the night we got wrecked
Drinking ice cold sambuca in some foreign bar?
Isn’t it strange you can’t remember the name
Of that distant place
You can’t overlook, the moments we took
Lying flat on our backs and gazing up at the stars
Why should it be, that when you’re thinking of me
Your mind’s an open space
*
Chorus
Forget Me Not features on the Bootlegged album, but I was never happy with the way it sounded. During lockdown I played with the arrangement and gave it a more upbeat, folkie feel and I think it works much better. – Paul
